“Do we all not know people who make the same resolutions year after year? Or maybe we are that person. My concern is that the resolution takes the

place of the action, as is also true with so many millions of people who sign up for an endless succession of self-help programs:

They think some magic words, some avowed promise, will magically transform their lives, when we all know that the real transformational work is tough, grueling, and usually involves sacrifice and unpleasant choices.”

focus on profiling the needs that

people seek to fulfill

focus on people’s thought or

Theories emphasize controlling behavior

by manipulating its consequences

Motivational Drives

• David McClelland of Harvard University developed three of the more dominant drives

13

Achievement

Affiliation

and get ahead

A drive to relate to people

effectively

situation

Affiliation Motivation

• People with affiliation motives

o Work better when complimented for favorable attitudes and cooperation

Human Needs

5-21

• When a machine malfunctions, people recognize it needs something

• For improvement to occur, the operator requires skilled and professional care

• When people are treated as well as we do machines, we would have more productive and satisfied workers

John Newstrom Organizational Behavior 13th edition mcc 2011

Types of Human Needs

5-22

1. Basic Primary Needs

2. Secondary Needs

Types of Human Needs

5-23

1. Basic Primary Needs

• Includes food, water, sleep, air

• Universal

• May vary in strength

• Conditioned by social practice

Types of Human Needs

5-24

2. Secondary Needs

• More vague; represents needs of the mind and spirit rather than physical body

• Develop as people mature

• Includes self-esteem, sense of duty, competitiveness, affection, self-assertion

• Nearly any management action will affect secondary needs

Key conclusions about secondary needs:

• Strongly conditioned by experience

• Vary in type and intensity

• Subject to change across time

• Work in combination and influence each other

• Often hidden from conscious recognition

• Vague feelings, not specific physical needs

• Influence behavior in powerful ways

5-27

Maslow’s Hierarchy Needs

Today’s managers must…

• Identify and accept employee needs

• Recognize that needs differ among employees

• Offer satisfaction for currently unmet needs

• Realize that giving more of the same reward may have diminishing impact on motivation

5-28

Hierarchy Needs

Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory

Maintenance Factor - work condition related to dissatisfaction caused by discomfort or pain

contributes to employee’s feeling not dissatisfied

contributes to absence of complaints

foundation to create reasonable motivation

Motivation Factor - work condition related to the satisfaction of the need for psychological growth

job enrichment

leads to superior performance & effort

Maintenance & Motivation Theory of Motivation

Maintenance factors avoid job

dissatisfaction

• Company policy

• Supervision

• Interpersonal relations

• Working conditions

• Salary

• Status

• Security

• Achievement

• Achievement recognition

• Work itself

• Responsibility

• Advancement

• Growth

Motivation factors increase job satisfaction

Organizational Behavior Modification

5-35

OB Mod is the systematic reinforcement of desirable work behavior and the nonreinforcement or punishment of unwanted work behavior

Law of Effect - a person repeats behavior that has positive results; stops behaviors that have negative results

OB Mod - Law of Effect

2 Key Conditions

• Consequences must make sense

• Person must see connection between behavior and consequences

5-36

Uses four basic strategies: • Positive reinforcement

• Negative reinforcement

• Punishment

• Extinction

Four Consequences of OB Mod

Punishment Positive

reinforcement

Extinction Negative

Application

Withdrawal

Manager’s use

Negative Positive

Nature of consequence 5-37

Positive Reinforcement

Negative Reinforcement

favorable consequences that accompanies

behavior and encourages a repetition of

the behavior (e.g. high quality of work)

occurs when a behavior is accompanied by

removal of unfavorable consequences

Example: An employee receives a plaque of recognition (favorable

consequences) for a job well done (behavior).

Example: Jose submits sales report on time (behavior) in order to

avoid his supervisor from nagging (unfavorable consequences).

Punishment administration of an unfavorable

consequences that discourages certain

behavior

Extinction withholding of significant positive

consequences that were previously

provided for desirable behavior

Example: Edith is sent to a sales training (unfavorable consequence)

due to her failure to meet the quota for three months (behavior).

Example: Rene did not receive a P3,000 gift check (withholding of

positive consequence) as he usually claims because of one incidence

of late for the current month (behavior).

Thoughts to Ponder

“I‟m called „the poorest

president‟, but I don‟t feel poor.

Poor people are those who only

work to try to keep an expensive

lifestyle, and always want more

and more.”

Jose Mujica,

President of Uruguay

Vroom’s Expectancy Theory

• It suggests that individuals can be motivated if they believe that:

• There is a positive correlation between efforts and performance

• Favorable performance will result in a desirable reward

• The reward will satisfy an important need

• The desire to satisfy the need is strong enough to make the effort worthwhile

VROOM - The Expectancy Model

Motivation = Valence × Expectancy × Instrumentality

Valence = reward preference from “I don’t care about the reward” to “I prefer to have the reward”

Expectancy = belief that effort will complete task

from” I can’t do it” to “I can do it perfectly”

Instrumentality = reward probability from ”I get the reward if I give excellent performance” to “There is no relation between reward and performance”

The Equity Model

Content and process theories of motivation look at the individual person

Equity model compares their rewards (outcomes) with their effort (inputs)

People…

• Observe one another

• Judge one another

• Make comparisons

Rewards Must seem to be “Fair”

5-48

The Equity Model

5-49

• People gauge the fairness of their work outcomes in

relation to others

• Felt negative inequity

Individual feels he/she has received relatively

less than others in proportion to work inputs

• Felt positive inequity

Individual feels he/she has received relatively

more than others in proportion to work inputs

Person's Inputs

Person's Outcomes

pay

fun at work

rewards

education

job difficulty

effort

Equity Model

John Newstrom Organizational Behavior 13th edition mcc 2011

The Equity Model Applied

People

• Have different perceptions

• Work within several social systems

• May have multiple reference groups

• Have shifting standards

• Have an upward orientation

• Have personal egos

• Are subject to equity sensitivity

• Need to see equal process

5-51

Motivational Models

† All have strengths and weaknesses

† All add to understanding of motivational process

† New models mainly cognitive

† Must be adapted to the situation

† Blending of many models is useful

Case Analysis: The Piano Builder

QUESTIONS:

1. Discuss the nature of Javier’s motivation in building pianos. What are his drives and needs? Would a behavior modification program affect his motivation? Why or why not? What would be the effect of setting a goal of two pianos per year for him?

2. How could a manufacturer of pianos build the motivation Carillo has now into its employees?

Ben Javier builds pianos from scratch. He is a consultant to a piano manufacturer. He is on call and works out about one week and a month, including some travel, to solve problems of customers. He also rebuilds about a dozen grand pianos every year for special customers; but according to Javier, the most satisfying part of his life is his hobby of building pianos from the beginning. “It’s the part that keeps a man alive, “ he says. The challenge of the work is what lures Javier onward. He derives satisfaction from precision and quality, and he comments, “Details makes the difference. When you cut a little corner here and a little corner there, you’ve cut a big hole. A piano is like the human body; all the parts are important.”

Javier has a substantial challenge in making a whole piano. His worls combines skills in cabinetmaking, metalworking, and engineering, with knowledge of acoustics and a keen ear for music. It requires great precision, because a tiny misalignment would ruin a piano’s tune. It also requires versatility. A keyboard must be balanced to respond to the touch of a finger; the pinblock, on the other hand, must withstand up to 20 tons of pressure. In addition, Javier had to make many of his own piano construction tools.

Javier has built 40 pianos in his 34-year career. Though construction takes nearly a year, he sells his pianos at the modest price of a commercial piano. He is seeking not money but challenge and satisfaction. He says, “The whole business is a series of closed doors. You learn one thing, and ther’s another closed door waiting to be opened. “Javier says his big dream is to build a grand piano: “It is one thing I haven’t done yet and want to do.”
